Mazda 5 Sport cruise Conversion?

[Junr]

So the mazda 3's can be converted to have cruise control just by adding the switch on the steering wheel and replacing the brake switch, maybe we should be able to get it working on the 5 sport the same way?

Yes it`s exactly the same, i did it on my old Mazda5 GS, the only difference is that the buttons on the 3 are red.

I've been searching the posts and I haven't been able to find the info to install cruise on my 09 Mazda 5. The dealer says that they don't have anything and that Mazda 5 owners have been upset about this.

your '09 Mazda5 doesn't have cruise control? I have an '09 sport, no options, and cruise is standard.
or am I missing something?

This 09 was a rental -- I don't know why it didn't come with cruise! -- I was very surprised when I got it from the auction that it didn't have cruise. I thought (incorrectly obviously) that it was standard. I also thought that a quick call to the dealer would get me a few pieces to install and I'd have it that way -- no luck.

then what takes the place of the cruise buttons on the right side of the steering wheel?

This forum is a mixture of US and Canadian users (and a few other countries tossed in). The US and Canadian models have slight differences, apparently the lack of cruise control on the base Canadian model is one of them.

The Mazda5 is in a class all its own. Too small to be a minivan (by today's standards), and too large to be a wagon, the 2012 Mazda5 is built on a platform that's about the size of the first 1986 Dodge minivan. For a short time the Kia Rondo was considered a competitor, and Ford had planned to market a similar vehicle called the C-Max, but both vehicles have been cut from their respective line-ups, leaving the Mazda5 as the lone "C-Wagon" (as this size class is sometimes described) in the U.S. market. Essentially a small minivan, the 2012 Mazda5 can accommodate six adults, has sliding rear doors for easy access to the second and third rows and a center aisle to aid access to the rear when children's car seats are being used in the second row.
